catching up on some blog business.

how about some randoms? 7 to be exact
6 things that make me Happy.
and blog awards!

i've been tagged a couple times in the last few days.

a new blog friend Julie tagged me for 7 randoms

so here you go...

1. i hate clutter but you'd never know by looking at my house/life.it's full of CLUTTER.

2.i don't like to have more than one appointment in a day. it stresses me out.

3.i prefer to wear silver jewelry. i almost never wear gold. i wear a silver mother's ring on my ring finger. i have a nice Gold diamond solitaire ring that doesn't fit anymore, and i don't even know exactly where it is. i just don't wear it. but i doubt i would anyway.

4.i can't have my picture taken without Lipstick on, well i can but it is NEVER CUTE. SO i always apply lipstick before a picture.

5.i don't wear perfume anymore. i used to daily. but when i stopped going anywhere,(became a mom) i stopped. now it's rare if i put some on.

6.i have to apply chapstick before i go to bed. it's a habit and i'm a mouth breather when i sleep and hate chapped lips. i like the bath and body works Co Bigelo peppermint infused chapstick (no shine in a black twist up tube)

7.i get more excited to decorate for Halloween, and Valentines day than i do for Christmas. it's the gift giving holidays that stress me out. that and the fact that i can't REALLY afford to do Christmas to the level that i would like , so i have a hard time getting into it. This year should be better with my super exciting fuchsia color scheme.

And i got tagged from Mamarazzi! for 6 things that make me happy!

1. getting an insane deal on something. i love to find a bargain.

2. i love love the color fuchsia. it makes me happy to see it. to find it at the store. to make something with that color. to wear it(only if it's flattering) .and i'm starting to decorate with it.

3.it also makes me happy that Lance doesn't mind if i decorate the bathroom Fuchsia, or maybe some random area of the house. because he knows it makes me happy. he laughs that i serve everything in a fuchsia bowl as soon as it's clean.

4. comments make me happy!there i said it. and no comments make me unhappy. it's true. and semi pathetic but there it is. of course i only like nice comments. not mean or judgy ones.

5. reading a good book makes me happy. all kinds of books. Fantasy, sci-fi, fiction, romance,kid books, self help, parenting. yup, all kinds of books. i have a ton of each kind at my house (see #1 on the above tag)

6.little stuff makes me happy. a surprise treat from someone who loves me. a fresh cold Dr.Pepper. a good nap. a clean sink. fresh clean kids. sniffing a babies head. sonic ice. shopping alone and taking my time to look at everything. shopping with a friend. going to lunch. a REALLY cute purse. fooling other people into thinking i have it all together. hA! we all know that's not true. so i really like that.

And then i got an award. TWICE! that means i get to give it away to twice as many peeps!

i got it first from mamarazzi who is too sweet, and is always sharing the blog award love. which i always get stoked about. AND also from supercoolmom( my sister )
